Re: child relocation after fathers death
You asked about relocating with a child.
Generally a non-custodial parent can have some or even significant sway over a custodial parents desire to relocate.
A deceased parent no longer has any rights and very rarely will any other relative be able to assert such rights. Other relatives can do things to make it expensive and miserable but eventually will lose unless the parent is seriously lacking in ability.
Hope that helps.

Unlikely. They are restricted to the provisions of the grandparent's visitation act.
Was there a custody order that included them?
Good luck to you.
